11:30, dude, I lived in Bay Ridge. Everything I ever witnessed or overheard in that neighborhood was very very very conservative. Hate to burst your bubble.
If they’re Democrats that’s funny, because they all voted for Bush and rather enthusiastically went to war in Iraq. Go figure.
They are shocked, SHOCKED to learn of mob ties to Marco Polo’s owner. Uh huh.
Those old Italian families, racists or whatever you call them, were not Republicans.
They were mostly union-member Democrats. Hate to bust your bubble. Although you sound like a perfect nitwit.
The article on the PLG development shows the owner being hesitant to state exactly what’s being built, but over here in PLG people are hearing from the architect and others at the site it will be a 20-30 story condo building. With the retail and parking underneath it, per the article.
This house is awesome. It’s the NYC Italian-Catholic version of the folk-art gardens down South like Rev. Howard Finster’s place in Georgia.
But I don’t admire the Republican politics and racist/sexist culture of the old timey Brooklyn Italians. Let’s have no nostalgia for that, please. Besides, they’re not going away. They still live in Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst and Carroll Gardens. More of their kids and grandkids are becoming more educated and modern, that’s all. And that’s a good thing not a tragedy.
That’s an amazing flock of cherubs and pink flamingos. I count nine flamingos and a cardinal. Can you imagine the horror if someone in a 3 million dollar house is next door. Ah, Brooklyn!
White trash. Classic Brooklyn. Yeah, like I care some uneducated, racist loser was living in Brooklyn 20 years ago because he had little to no other options. What a loser argument.
Where were you living, 10:17?
“When most of you were riding your trikes in the burbs, these folks were living in Brooklyn.”
My grandparents were living in Brooklyn at this time. They were also Italian. But they didn’t believe in putting up a gigantic Italian flag on their front lawn. They were more humble than that.
